This is definitely the quote of the day. I can think of lots of other products that can use a little common sense labeling like this.

Google Begins Testing Its Augmented-Reality Glasses
| April 11, 2012
We believe technology should work for you — to be there when you need it and get out of your way when you don’t.
On Wednesday, Google gave people a clearer picture of its secret initiative called Project Glass. The glasses are the company’s first venture into wearable computing.
The glasses are not yet for sale. Google will, however, be testing them in public.
In a post shared on Google Plus, employees in the company laboratory known as Google X, including Babak Parviz, Steve Lee and Sebastian Thrun, asked people for input about the prototype of Project Glass. Mr. Lee, a Google product manager and originally worked on Google mapping software Latitude, mobile maps and indoor maps, is responsible for the software component and the location-based aspects of the glasses.

How Apple and Google help police bypass iPhone, Android lock screens
| April 10, 2012
Internal police documents reveal the legal processes that law enforcement agencies use to require Apple and Google to bypass the lock screens on seized mobile phones.
Training materials prepared by the Sacramento sheriff’s office include a fill-in-the-blanks court order that, with a judge’s signature, requires Apple to “assist law enforcement agents” with “bypassing the cell phone user’s passcode so that the agents may search the iPhone.”
It’s more difficult to gain access to a locked Android phone. The document (PDF page 25) says that according to T-Mobile and Google, the only way to “unlock the phone is to have the Gmail user name and password.” But Google employs good security — presumably a so-called cryptographic hash for passwords — and does “not have access to particular e-mail account passwords, as they are encrypted.”
